(177,418 posts)49. After court order, DOJ divulges search warrant affidavit for FBI's Fulton County election raid
This search warrant is totally bogus. It was issued based on allegations that had been litigated and disproved and the applicable statute of limitations had expired. This search warrant should had never been issued

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday complied with a court order to publicly reveal the search warrant affidavit that initiated the FBIs raid on an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, last month.
Through the search, federal agents seized thousands of county records including original ballots from the 2020 presidential election, which President Donald Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed was stolen from him.....
The document reveals that the search was largely predicated on disinformation and debunked voter fraud claims pushed by private individuals since Trumps loss.
The bureaus sweeping search warrant against Fulton Countys main election operations center indicated that the raid stemmed from its investigation over alleged violations of election record retention and voter intimidation laws.
However, before the affidavits release, it was unknown what evidence, if any, the DOJ had presented to back the warrant.,,,,,
The local officials questioned whether prosecutors sufficiently established probable cause in securing the warrant. Instead, the officials said that there was a high likelihood that prosecutors presented widely debunked voter fraud theories.....
Despite the FBIs warrant, the legality of the search has been in question. Legal experts noted that the statute of limitations for the crimes the bureau appears to be investigating has already lapsed.

The attorney who filed the request for this warrant should be worried about sanctions. This warrant is totally frivolous.

OP
How far will these various federal agencies go before someone has a backbone and says "no"?

They're really going to try and prosecute those who were involved in 'rigging' the 2020 election.

I get that. But they had to have some evidence of a federal crime for the FBI to get involved ...

I expect this isn't about their 2020 lies, it's about preparing for 2026 and 2028 lies.

Another way to put this is "Trump was forced to unseal evidence... because of a court order."
